Legal Question in Technology Law in Louisiana

While chatting with someone they asked if I wanted to trade pics. I said sure so they opened up a picture trading program which is included with the chat software. They said they had some young teen pics (which in my mind tells me he has some 18 year old girl pics) Without notice they sent me 3 pictures but each pic was pixelated and was taking a long time to load. I said "send more" so he did. The pictures slowly loaded and once they did I discovered he had send me 3-4 pics of underage looking girls in their underwear. Ine one of the pics one of the underage looking girls had on a thong. I panicked, told him im not into that sick stuff and left the chat. Now im freaking out because I have NEVER been exposed to such messed up stuff) that I'm going to get into some kind of trouble JUST for seeing the pics ( I didn't download them). Do I have anything to worry about?

If you solicited sexual images of underaged persons then it is a crime. If you were sent something you didn't request and erased -no intent so no crime.
